SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 654,334, dated July 24,1900. Application filed Matt 23, 1900. Serial No. 9,835. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, DE VEB. H. WARNER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and State ofConnecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Studs orButtons for Garment-Supporters, of which the following is a full, clear,and exact specification.

My invention relates to improvements in studs or buttons forgarment-supporters of that class in which the stud coacts with a partsillustrated in the drawings and afterward more fully described.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a stud embodying my newinvention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same, and Fig. 3 a planview.

Similar letters indicate similar throughout the several views.

ais a supporting-plate of the ordinary type used withgarment-supporters, although it is obvious that any kind of a plate onwhich the button may be mounted may be used.

b is a collar, preferably of a yielding material, against which the loopis drawn.

a is a sleeve resting upon plate a, both supporting the rivet d andkeeping in place the collar bjwhile e is the upset foot of the rivet,which fastens to the plate a, thus holding all the parts together. Thesleeve chas a rounded rim of greater diameter than either the collar or,the rivet, thus forming a seat for the parts [head of the rivet and aretaining-piece for the collar. The rim of the sleeve is of sufficientdiameter to safely retain the loop, while its rounded shape effectuallyprevents the garment from being torn.

It is obvious that the collar might be dispensed with without departingfrom the spirit of my invention; but I prefer a collar of some :yieldingmaterial, as it results in a better- .finished and more pleasingarticle.

The combination of parts described results in a stud or button of greatstrength and rigidity, qualities greatly to be desired in buttons of theclass described.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent of the United States, is

1. In a stud or button the combination of a supporting-plate, a rivetand a sleeve through which said rivet is adapted to pass, said roundedrim at its upper edge of greater diameter than the head of the rivet,substantially as described.

2. In a stud or button the combination of a which said rivet is adaptedto pass, said sleeve resting on said plate and having a rounded rim, atits upper edge of greater diameter than the head of the rivet, and acollar surrounding said sleeve but of less diameter than the rimthereof, substantially asdescribed.

In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of twowitnesses. DE VER H. WARNER.
